Is My Oregano Thyme Growing? Benefits and Care

Yesterday, I was wondering about the lack of growth of my Fortune Plant. Today, I have similar musings.  About two weeks ago, I divided my Oregano Thyme into two plants.  Root division is the preferred method of propagation for Oregano Thyme.  Since then, I've been watching out for those two.  I'm not sure if they're growing at all.  Does it look like they grew to you?
